Suggested Logos 4
Commentary Collections
and
Parallel Resources Sets
Below are four categories of commentaries:




Language focuses on the word meanings, grammar, syntax, etc. of the biblical text.
Scholar or Critical also emphasizes original languages as well as academic insights into the
text.
Pastoral or Exegetical highlights the meaning of the text, provides contextual information,
and often contains outlines of the passage.
Application or Devotional suggests practical applications of the text while also providing
stories and illustrations.
The commentaries in each category will make an excellent collection and parallel resources set.
As you view the lists please keep these observations in mind:





Some of the commentaries are included in Logos Bible Software 4 base collections while
others must be purchased separately while still others are on Pre-Pub.
The placement of commentaries in a category is somewhat subjective so you may choose to
organize the resources differently.
The listing of a commentary does not mean its contents are endorsed by Morris Proctor or
Logos.
Tagging the commentaries in the Library is perhaps the most effective way of creating the
collections and subsequent parallel resources sets.
Suggested commentary tags include:
o Language: Language Commentaries
o Scholar or Critical: Critical Commentaries
o Pastoral or Exegetical: Exegetical Commentaries
o Application or Devotional: Application Commentaries
